Baby Boomers: Rising Assets and Steady Portfolio Allocation

With estimated assets over 24% higher than the average U.S. household, Baby Boomers (born 1946-1964) tend to allocate their wealth slightly more conservatively toward deposits and bonds compared to the average U.S. consumer. Since 2011, Baby Boomers have made a modest, less than one percent shift from deposits to mutual funds, while their allocation toward stocks has stayed about the same. Boomers control about 65% of all bond assets, with average bond balances over 73% higher than the average U.S. household.
